It's a great car

I like small cars, this is the biggest car I owned, I had it for 10 years, can't really complain, car was very good in maintaining, good on gas and still going strong, just hate driving in feet of snow :(

one of the better cars out there

Since Nissan started building these cars in North America The quality has dropped. Nissan attitude toward quality issues leaves a lot to be desired. It seems they are taking the customer service page from the big three and see how that approach worked out for them !!

Perfect Suburbon Family Car (5 or Less)

We Love everything about the Nissan Altima line: These are our TOP 3
1. It's very roomy inside, 4 adults and 1 child fit comfortably
2. The gas mileage is amazing for a car this size, especially H/W. We drove from Florida to New Jersey and back for less than $300. Unleaded gas and regular oil changes are all you need.
3. Because of the changes Nissan made in the transmission, the car doesn't go through the regular gear changes that cause "hesitation" as the car accelerates in speed. Therefore, in situations where you have to speed up quickly (getting on a highway, pulling out of a side street, etc) the car rides smoothly until you get to the speed you want.

Dependable

I like that I can rely on it, but I wish it was more efficient and could get up to speed faster.

Recall Notices

2019 Nissan Altima (3/25/2019)

Campaign Number: 19V235000

Component Name: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.

Description: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Nissan Altima vehicles. The brake switch bracket may be in the incorrect location, which may cause the brake switch to remain on.

Defect: If the brake switch remains in the ON position, the brake lights will remain illuminated when the brakes are not being pressed, which may confuse other drivers. Additionally, the transmission shift lever may be moved out of the Park position without the brake pedal being pressed, allowing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new brake pedal as needed, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in May 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

2019 Nissan Altima (12/20/2018)

Campaign Number: 18V922000

Component Name: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP

Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.

Description: Nissan North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Altima vehicles. The retainer clip connecting the low pressure fuel tube to the high pressure fuel pump may not have been locked into position.

Defect: If the retainer clip is unlocked, the fuel tube may shift and cause a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. If the fuel tube fully disconnects, the engine can stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action: Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will route the fuel hose into the holding clip and lock the retainer clip into place, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

2017 Nissan Altima (12/19/2018)

Campaign Number: 18V915000

Component Name: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.

Description: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040. The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied. As a result, the cable may interfere with the window regulator causing the rear passenger door to unlatch and inadvertently open without warning when the window is lowered.

Defect: If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.

Corrective Action: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge. The recall began February 5, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669.
